Command, Control, Communications Systems - Eng Dev

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) supports efforts to develop interoperability of Army programs and products, horizontally and vertically for the digitized battlefield. Project D485 supports Information Standards Interoperability Engineering and Joint Interoperability Certification. It provides the critical elements of the Army/Joint Technical Architecture, the mandated standards and communication protocols for Army/Joint ground and air operations, and crucial certification test tools to evaluate systems' interoperability for the Warfighter in support of the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (VCSA) and Army Acquisition Executive (AAE). It also provides Joint certification testing and certification recommendations to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) for Army systems. This Army-wide effort directly supports the management, oversight, development, maintenance, and interoperability at the Army enterprise level C4I/IT (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence/Information Technology) architecture efforts required to implement Unit Set Fielding (USF), Software Blocking (SWB) Policy and Army Knowledge Management. Project D589 Army Systems Engineering (ASE) & Warfighter Technical Support provides essential technology expertise on all Systems Engineering and Technical Architecture (SE/TA) matters critical to gain Information Dominance and foster interoperability among all Army systems. Project D593, Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) funds the Systems Engineering, Software Development and Testing of JBC-P. Joint Battle Command - Platforms (JBC-P), which includes Blue Force Tracking (BFT) and Army Aviation, provides true Joint force Command and Control (C2) Situational Awareness (SA) and communications (e.g., terrestrial, celestial) capability at the platform level through command center locations (e.g., Network Operations Centers (NOC), Tactical Operation Centers (TOCs), Brigade Command Posts) and enables mission accomplishment across the entire spectrum of military operations.
